Jon, Since you're also an agent, do you show sellers the side-by-side figures, and let them decide which way to go? Lynn (FL)

My arrangement with my agent is exactly how Michael C describes it. I throw her any leads that I can't work with. She's listed and closed atleast one deal that came me. Lynn (FL)

Michael Q, Is this your ad? Lynn (FL)

Very good. Thanks Jonathan. Lynn (FL)

Michael and John, I'm sure your ears were burning, as both of you were talked about. Lynn (FL)

To everyone who missed last night's MasterMind Group call, you missed a wonderful opportunity to ask questions. We were down in quantity, but up in quality . Thanks again to Eric for putting this together. Lynn (FL)

On realtor.com, is there a way download the results into a spreadsheet? I did my search, got plenty of addresses, but then I have to manually enter the into into a spreadsheet. Lynn (FL)

Poor me, I'm not on that list. I just keep getting stuff about some guy named Zack and his one-of-a-kind Wholesaleing course. Sad thing is, I keep getting the same emails from 3-4 diferent people. Lynn (FL)

Michael Q, My test worked fine. Are we able to sign up? I put in my name and email address, but it wouldn't allow me to create a password. Thanks, Lynn (FL)

That's scary ... Our parents live in Alabama, so I do try and wait to see them when they come this way. Lynn (FL)

They've been to some games, but not sure how big a fans they are. Lynn (FL)

My brother and his family live in Colleyville (I'm sure John knows where that is). We could all just bunk at their house. Lynn (FL)

Destin Florida in October is nice. Lynn (FL)

No, the house probably would not show well. 1 reason, you have to walk thru one bedroom to get to the other 3 bedrooms, and 1.5 baths. There's a full bath between the kitchen and laundry room, on the opposite end of the house. It's just a strange lay-out (in my opinion). I just talked with a property management company, who leases the house across the street. It's a 3/2, with updated bathroom and kitchen, for $925 per month. That tells me the one I'm looking at would rent for no more than $1,000, only because it's a 4/2.5. I think I'm seeing the writing on the wall. Lynn (FL)

Michael, Am I trying to force something to work, when it won't? I need to offer it to my t/b at $135k, meaning NET to the seller would be $123-125k? Lynn (FL)

Tom, Probably not. Those are the numbers I see I need to make it work. Ofcourse, the kicker is finding a T/B who thinks a sales price of $142,500 is a good deal. I haven't signed anything with the owner, yet. Am I try to make a NO DEAL, a deal? Lynn (FL)

I think you have to be an agent and member of your local MLS to access the information. Lynn (FL)

I just emailed the sellers a Short Offer Form for 36 months / $130,000 / $1,200. I'll market it for $142,500, with $5,000 OC and 50% rent credit. Payments don't start until I find a T/B, so we'll see what happens. Lynn (FL)

John, Using your numbers, $135,000 would be my option price with the seller or my T/B? The 15% rent credit is also with the seller or T/B? Thanks, Lynn (FL)

Owners want to sell for balance of mortgage ... $129,000. CMA came in at $130,200. Mortgage payment is $1,200 per month. For me to be able to give 50% rent credit ($7,200 per year) and I receive the 3.5% Option Consideration ($4,900), I'd need to raise the selling price to around $141,000, which is about 8.5% higher than the CMA. Is this a justifiable price or is it over priced? Thanks, Lynn (FL)

Steve, Does your post card use a "I want to buy your house..." theme, or is it geared for doing lease purchase? Lynn (FL)

She had a closing yesterday, and it wasn't a short sale, so she was all excited. Lynn (FL)

I talked with a local agent last night. She said the number of sales in my area are increasing, but the prices are still low. Lynn (FL)

Postcards get read BEFORE they are thrown into "File 13". IF your letter looks like junk mail, it probably won't. Lynn (FL)

I too have a J.O.B., so I have to send my calls to voice mail. I'm using a Magic Jack account with a local number. After you've purchased the hub ($20.00), you get unlimited calls for $20.00 per year. I'm notified of any messages via email, and MJ captures the caller's number. For a toll free number, I've found Kall 8 the least expensive. $2.00 per month, plus 7-cents per minute. I also have that set up to notify me via email of any messages. You can have your Kall 8 calls forwarding to your Magic Jack phone, so all your calls are hearing the same message. Or, set up the Kall 8 number to be your "24-Hour Recorded Message" line. It's not ideal, but I've found this to be a good place to start, until I can hire a live person to answer my calls. Lynn (FL)
